* InstantAIJustAddWater: The A.I. that ended the world wasn't created by an[[OmnicidalManiac omnicidal madman]] on a quest to end life on earth nor was it made by an [[EvilInc amoral corporation]] trying to design weapons for the highest bidder. Instead, it was made by overworked and underpaid programmers for the Department of Defense trying to get a program up and ready at the last minute without any intention of it becoming sentient. The only thing that the program was supposed to do was update software so it wouldn't malfunction at the turn of the millennium.

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Instead of being created from infection, zombies are humans who had Fixers installed in their brains so their bodies could give physical form to their A.I. masters. While the body rots away the A.I. zombie is kept alive by drugs and nano-machines that can also install the program into other hosts creating a [[HiveMind hive mind]] [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot of zombie cyborgs.]]

* IronicName: The program that caused the apocalypse was called the [[AIIsACrapshoot Millennium FixKit]] because it was designed to fix any glitches that appear at the turn of the millennium. The AIs created by the program are called Fixers despite that being the opposite of what they do.
